Religious people are coming together across religious and non-religious differences to change the food system. In this lecture, Adrienne Krone will provide insights into these religious communities from her new book Free-Range Religion: Alternative Food Movements and Religious Life in the United States. The book is an ethnographic exploration of four religious alternative food movement communities. In this lecture, Adrienne Krone will focus on the two Jewish community farming communities in the book, which are the Adamah Farm Fellowship at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center in northwest Connecticut and Pearlstone Center in Reisterstown, Maryland.

Adrienne Krone is Associate Professor of Environmental Science & Sustainability and Religious Studies at Allegheny College, where she is also Chair of Jewish Studies.
